Without Gerrard we lost all impetus and drive. And more importantly, we lost the support for Torres as he is no isolated and becoming frustrated. This could be a long night.
I could've sworn that this thred said Feb. 5 when I first saw it, but I've missed the first half. Anyone want to sum it up for me? I do know about the Gerrard injury.
Kuyt is, Yossi is playing out on the right. We need to stop being drawn into their game, put a foot on the ball and play it around. They want us to play helter skelter and it is working -- for them. Riera looks like he might have a better touch today than his last time out and I fancy him to lay one through for Torres to grab a winner. But right now it has extra time, sending offs and penalties written all over it.
Your right. Good thing they got rid of Stubbs, he was ugly too. I remember watching the Citeh-Everton match a couple weeks back, and I couldn't decide who had the worst haircuts.

Reina has looked a bit poor on his kicks - but took command of teh box nicely on the one cross. The Arteta cross from Lucas' idiotic foul was fortunately right into the wall.
WOWOWOWOWOW who was it that said that "the foul on lucas = no foul, but if he had done it it would have been a yellow" that person is SO vindicated right now. : " If Lucas did that to Pienaar he would have gotten a yellow. Ref is not taking any control of this match. It's likely to see multiple reds."
Me. Lucas also looks so clumsy whenever he challenges anyone that he makes his challenges look more violent than they actually are: but that Pienaar challenge that didn't end up being a yellow on him when he was what seemed like 3 seconds late in for a tackle: Lucas would have gotten straight red for it.
Lol. Did you catch that sock that hit Cahill. Got him right on his injured shoulder and I know he felt it because he wound up his arm. Also you gotta mention that our supporters are rockin' over there. They got that female pa speaker to tell them to sit down and instead they just bounce around and sing in unison. Gotta luv them for that!
Brings back memories of last years CL when they sang over the CL theme song. This is crazy but I want to say, for the lack of game that lucas is provding, I say slide Xabi more towards the center and forward and bring on my boy Agger for defensive purposes and play-making ability from deep before lucas gives up a penalty or gets a red!
